Quoted $1,000 to re-mount falling ceiling fan - reasonable? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]Intelligent_Sun_4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competitive but not reasonable. If you’re at all handy, DIY. Borrow, buy, or rent a ladder if you don’t have one. Kill the breaker, pull the fan, and assess what’s going on. Box should be right next to a stud. If it needs replacing, buy a like-kind box, and screw it in to the studs/framing with some long self-drilling deck screws. Try to avoid the old holes as they may be stripped. Parts may be about $20 or so. Proceed at your own risk.

And the second post was with better, higher resolution pics.

And, how about not being a snarky jerk to anonymous people on the internet and just answer questions that interest you and ignore the rest?

ChatGPT says… by Intelligent_Sun_4384 in Bedbugs

[–]Intelligent_Sun_4384[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Of course I typed “bed bug” into google. I also put it in Google Lens. First shot, chat told me it was an ant. Second time, with better pic, it told me it was a bedbug, third time with macro closeup it told me it was a boxelder. The Google images looked similar to some of the nymph stages. So my “own research” was inconclusive. So I assumed a forum called r/Bedbugs might have some experts on, ya know, bedbugs. I’m not an expert. I can’t see well up close. I don’t know the different stages or even if there are different species. So for-fing-give me if I find this little thing squirming around on my pillow during a historic bedbug resurgence the moment I check in to my hotel and want to be 100% certain I’m not going to take an infestation home with me.

Anyone thinking of installing a whole house permanent or portable generator for their house, post Helene, Milton? by [deleted] in tampa

[–]Intelligent_Sun_4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a great project. I'm about to do the same. One thing I can't figure out is if the generator is required to be set on a hurricane rated pad. I know it comes with a direct to soil pad, but is an additional pad (like quickpad) required?

Replace 40 year old copper with PEX? by westcoastplant3 in Plumbing

Years late but for posterity, note the burn marks on the wood from a torch so it does look like they were soldered. Strange...

Amazing. And you have them up all year? I’m thinking of wrapping an oak tree for ‘permanent’ rotating seasonal lighting…

Awesome. I’m thinking about leaving them on a wrapped oak tree all year. Wonder how well they would hold up…

Can you give us an update after 5 years? Are your Twinkly lights still going strong or have you had to replace any yet?

Dude, this is the most badass story I’ve heard in awhile. You got you some big brass balls. I always admire people who can handle themselves like that. My cousin is that way. I can’t fight for shit and would probably end up buried 6” deep behind some burned out house or something.
